That'll be quite enough, thank you. I will tolerate NO personal attacks on MLU, regardless of whether you're right or wrong. In this case, there's probably an element of truth in what you ALL say - and certainly in Ed's correct identification. The rest is hear-say and is most likely based upon some truth or another, but is totally irrelevant to this conversation.

Jordan, I don't care whether you hate Ed Storey's guts (for whatever reason), but you will NOT bring this onto MLU. Sort this out on your own time. Understood?

Jif

No problemo Geoff, How could I hate a mans guts with all the knowledge he has stored inside of him for stuff that I love.

As for my previous (now unmentionable) posts they were "just a tad" tounge in cheek. All in good humour my good friend. I thought thats how they would be taken to "relieve" some of the strain and stress that was going on from those dreaded past few weeks.


For the record (if it matters) I too like to use the proper names for things. In the grand scheme of things (life) this stuff is pretty insignificant and this brings me back to my bit up above about being humourous.

But I will try my bestest to tone it down a wee bit if thats ok. (dont' realy get the skipping sheep but its there)

Default No Problem

No worries from this end Jordan, I missed the post and I can understand how the heat of the moment may have prevailed.

Knowledge, who said anything about knowledge about this stuff, perhaps it is all BS...

Anyway, I guess as long as we all keep it in perspective that we are discussing old army junk things will be okay.

Cheers,

ED

I love it when everyone kisses and makes up.

Even before commissioning I wasn't into officer bashing just for the sake of doing it. I have run across good and bad officers and good and bad rankers. (Still have to meet a 'good' airman though )

Gee, thanks..... so my 13 years as an infanteer doesn't count for anything? The dislike of the airforce is shared by many of us ex-army types who are currently wearing blue but it still stings a bit to hear it from those we respect..... No wonder I hate wearing my uniform in public....

Clive, say it isn't so and didn't happen and never will. Please, please, because when you say that I get these visions of Alex. Can you imagine anyone kissing that puss?

Barry,
I hadn't thought of that and now will have to go and get an elective frontal lobotomy to permanently excise that image from my mind.

Despite all the bickering that was going on, I for one am glad that I now finally know:

1) what these are

2) why they would not fit my standard belt back in the days when I was playing soldier!

I guess I now have to find the matching yokes and pouches after buying this mismatched pair more than 30 years ago. . . .

Thanks,
Hanno
